YouTuber Critical Drinker ran his own Superman poll during a live stream, and the results weren\u2019t even close. <\/p>\n

Unlike Grace Randolph\u2019s poll<\/a> \u2014 which excluded thousands of Snyder fans due to years of blocking \u2014 Drinker\u2019s audience poll wasn\u2019t skewed. <\/p>\n

And fans made their choice immediately.<\/p>\n

With more than 8,000 people watching live, fans picked Man of Steel over James Gunn\u2019s Superman within minutes. <\/p>\n

Out of 2,191 votes at the time of the screenshot, a whopping 90% chose Snyder\u2019s film, leaving Gunn\u2019s Superman with just 10%.<\/p>\n

A Poll That Actually Reflects the Audience<\/p>\n

Drinker hasn\u2019t blocked the SnyderVerse community, so his poll reached a full cross-section of the fandom. That\u2019s a direct contrast to Randolph\u2019s poll, where a huge portion of pro-Snyder accounts couldn\u2019t vote.<\/p>\n

The fact that Snyder dominated a poll in an open environment makes Randolph\u2019s poll \u2014 where Snyder won by only 1% \u2014 basically meaningless and completely worthless.<\/p>\n

Massive Reach, Massive Signal<\/p>\n

Critical Drinker has over 2.3 million subscribers, and his live streams regularly draw large, engaged audiences. When a creator with that reach runs a spontaneous poll and Snyder wins with 90% of the vote, that\u2019s not noise \u2014 that\u2019s a clear indicator of where the fan energy still is.<\/p>\n

Man of Steel continues to resonate, especially as SnyderVerse interest surges across social platforms and international metrics.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re told when WBD is sold that the SnyderVerse will return.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Box Office Shows Fans Picked Snyder Long Before These Polls<\/p>\n

The fan polling lines up with the box office history. James Gunn\u2019s Superman finished with $616.6 million worldwide, well below Zack Snyder\u2019s Man of Steel, which earned $670.1 million back in 2013.<\/p>\n

Adjusted for today\u2019s dollars, Man of Steel comes in at nearly $1 billion \u2014 a massive gap that shows how strong the global interest was in Snyder\u2019s version of Superman.<\/p>\n

Snyder also crushed Gunn internationally. Man of Steel performed far better overseas and especially in China, where Gunn\u2019s film stalled. The foreign audience was a major driver of Snyder\u2019s DCEU success, and it continues to be a market where fans show stronger support for his take on the character<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"YouTuber Critical Drinker ran his own Superman poll during a live stream, and the results weren\u2019t even close.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":296777,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[49,48,5106,75,7819,867,9068,337,5769,49717],"class_list":["post-296776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-david-corenswet","tag-entertainment","tag-henry-cavill","tag-james-gunn","tag-man-of-steel","tag-movies","tag-superman","tag-zack-snyder"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=296776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296776\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/296777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=296776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=296776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=296776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
